Amtrak is at Union Station in downtown Chicago. To get to the shop connection
can be made to the Metra Union Pacific West Line commuter train at the Ogilvie station located four blocks
north of Union Station.

The Metra Union Pacific West Line commuter train runs from the Ogilvie Station in downtown
Chicago to a station that is about one mile from the shop in Villa Park. It's a 35 minute
trip from downtown to the Villa Park station. There are several train stations
downtown. Always specify the Ogilvie Metra station when directing yourself
there.

American Taxi provides good quality service throughout the Chicago area. To
schedule a taxi use their automated system that works very well. 800-244-1177

They also service O'Hare and Midway airports. During non-rush hours it's about
a 20 minute ride from O'Hare. The ride is about 40 minutes from Midway. After
you arrive at the airport contact them at the airport number, 847-255-9600.

Taxies at the airports. If you don't schedule a taxi on the phone and
want to hail one from the stand at the airport you should be aware of "Chicago"
taxies. The Chicago licensed taxies at the stands in the airports charge the
fare x 1.5 for a trip into the suburbs. We are in the suburban village of
Addison. Normal suburban taxi fare to the shop is about $45. To avoid the x
1.5 up-charge, we recommend calling a suburban taxi. American Taxi offers
reliable suburban service at the airports without the up-charge.
